Chapter 142: The Mighty Third Young Master Ye Was Awesome! (V)

“Yes, I’m fully recovered now,” Chu Wuyou replied softly. She appeared completely at ease and unperturbed at the ridicule.

Sometimes, looks could kill. The graceful manner she possessed right at that moment was so powerful she could make someone hang their head down in shame.

Someone like Ye Lanzhang for instance.

Granny Chu’s eyes twinkled and she attempted a subtle smile. She knew Chenchen would not marry someone with nothing to offer.

Elder Chu also appeared slightly surprised.

Ye Lanzheng felt exposed and vulnerable when he lifted his head again to meet Chu Wuyou’s gaze. It was as if she could penetrate into his deepest thoughts.

He felt dissatisfied and was dying to mock her with more sarcastic remarks.

“Come on now, dinner’s served,” Granny Chu said casually as she threw another glance at Chu Wuyou.

In the Ye family, Granny Chu’s words carried great importance. She was one of the prime decision-makers in the household, especially in recent years due to Elder Chu’s old age.

Without further comment, Elder Chu snorted and headed toward the dining table.

Ye Lanchen held Chu Wuyou’s arm as he led her to the dining table. He even pulled the chair out for her. His service was impeccable.

Chu Wuyou was overwhelmed by the flattery.

“When will you throw a wedding banquet since you’ve already signed the papers? We should pick an auspicious date,” Jin Mingzhen enquired on purpose, her eyes twinkling with brilliance.

She knew without a doubt that Elder Chu would oppose the idea, based on his previous response. Therefore, she deliberately brought up the issue to make things difficult for Chu Wuyou.

“There will be no wedding banquet. Such a disgrace!” As expected, Elder Chu did not care about hurting Chu Wuyou’s feelings. He was obviously ashamed to acknowledge the latter as part of the family.

Simultaneously, Chu Wuyou was in the middle of bringing food into her mouth. It was plain as day that Elder Chu’s scornful remarks were directed against her. He did not hold back in expressing his great displeasure.

Chu Wuyou contemplated whether she should loosen her grip and drop the food on the table in order to show her grievance and embarrassment.

She decided eventually that it was shameful to waste food.

Besides, she was more than happy to learn that Elder Chu opposed the idea of a wedding banquet. The contract marriage between her and Ye Lanchen was supposed to be a secret hence she never entertained the idea of throwing a wedding banquet.

Therefore, Chu Wuyou decided to fall back into her original rhythm. She placed the food into her mouth and chewed thoroughly before swallowing. She seemed to genuinely enjoy the sensory pleasure that came along with each bite.

The others around the table stared at her with disbelief as if she was some sort of monster. Elder Chu had just explicitly reproached her in the face!

How could she have continued on eating like nothing had happened?

She even appeared seriously pleased by the food?!

How dumb could she possibly be?!

A spark flashed across Granny Chu’s eyes and she attempted another smile.

The dumbfounded Elder Chu finally came to reality a couple of seconds later. His lips quivered as if intending to say something but words failed to escape his mouth upon watching Chu Wuyou’s behavior.

He reckoned it would be a waste of time even if he gave her a tongue-lashing.

Ye Lanchen had already made up his mind to pay no heed to Elder Chu’s attitude. No one could force him into throwing a wedding banquet and no one could stop him as well if he had a change of heart.

Initially, he feared that those disdainful words might upset her feelings. However, the corners of his lips had gradually turned upward into a smile upon seeing Chu Wuyou’s response. He could not help but marvel silently at her self-control.

Embarrassing her would be a more arduous task than reaching for the stars.

Nonetheless, Ye Lanchen was slightly displeased when he realized she probably could not care less because she did not even want a wedding banquet in the first place.

Of course, he was fully aware of her decision regarding the aforementioned matter because she had clearly stated her desire on the prenuptial agreement, which he had signed.

Therefore, Ye Lanchen told himself to treat the matter lightly.

His priority right now was to protect her woman and to save her face.

He begrudged bullying his wife so he could not allow others to do the same.

Not even his grandfather.
